I'm thinking about getting a 940 for wife.com but I only know 240's. I've been looking around and started checking what was on Ebay. That's when I noticed that some of the 940's had engines with the distributor on the back driven off the camshaft and some had distributors on the side driven off the auxiliary shaft. These were all NA engines, not turbos. I had believed all 740/940 B230 engines had the distributors on the camshafts. My questions are:
1. Are some 940 engines the older style (distributor on the side) or has someone swapped in an older engine?
2. If both distributor arrangements were used, is one arrangement better than the other?
Thanks for helping clear up my somewhat confused brain.
